May I ask, what other Omega pieces do you have, or have had, in your collection?

I hate to answer for my friend and I’m sure he has many more …

Off the top of my head, the ones that stand out are: 321 SS, 321 plat, all three silver snoopies, and of course the usual Speedmasters.

The Canopus is the missing piece of the Omega speedmaster catalog

That’s correct…..plus the NTTD.

How are you getting on with the 321 platinum?

I think they are lovely in pictures but I’ve never seen one in the metal.

Let's see some 321 platinum pics OP! That one was is absolutely stunning. Nothing tops that watch for me.

The 321P remains the jewel in my collection. Not because it's PM, nor for the 321 movement..... it's knowing that it contains a piece of the moon.

How cool is that?

I don't know of any other watch out there that contains a piece of another celestial body?

I'm smitten with it!

Does it contain a piece of the Moon? I thought it was 'just' meteorite.

Sub-dials are moon meteorite.

[Nova1]

Great collection! Beautiful piece that 321P. I’m going to have to vote Alaska!

I didn’t know that. Is there a story about how Omega got this material?

I do think that it is a beautiful watch, it and the 321 Canopus would make a lovely pair.

Thanks very much for the link, but it doesn't explain how Omega obtained the material.

They bought it.... can't imagine what they paid for that chunk of the moon!

I would be so curious what your wearing habits would be if you owned the canopus as well. Between the platinum and SS 321, do you gravitate toward one or the other more?

Not sure if you have a clearly made mind on which one goes and stays if you were to cull the herd.

I have no doubt the Canopus would see as much wrist time as the 321P and 321SS..... and that would be once in a blue moon....

With 20-watches currently in the collection, I desperately need to cull the herd.

Well, cut it down to 19, so you have room for the canopus 321 - by now we all know that the decision has been made

Would be curious to hear about the OB process for such piece - Most be no more than a handfull of OB's that have received one, maybe even yet to sell

I’ve just realised that I’ve seen this video before but I’d forgotten the details. It’s an age thing I suspect!

It’s a lovely watch and to me knowing what it’s made of just adds to it.

This and the 321 Canopus are both lovely but unfortunately both cost more than I would pay for a watch, but I hope you enjoy yours and look forward to seeing some photos if you get the Canopus.

And that there is the rub....my OB has one. Held it in my hand a few weeks ago.

Very hard to let go.

Adding one more possibility to the mix..5326G

[1William]

That is a nice one.

I love PP and while the 5326G is very nice, I feel I will get bored with it after sometime.

Interesting take.... which PP do you find appealing?

[Mimar2910]

Either of them works for me but I will go with Alaska project, It's a beautiful piece.
